Mugshot of Tim Walz Resurfaces After Arrest for Driving 96 mph in a 55 Zone – Campaign Claimed He Was “Not Drunk” and Blamed Incident on Walz’s ‘Deafness’
A mugshot of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has resurfaced, bringing to light his past brush with the law.
The incident in question dates back to 1995 when Walz was arrested for driving at a staggering 96 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone. Instead of taking responsibility, he claimed to be “deaf” in an attempt to evade the consequences of his actions.
According to police reports obtained by Alpha News, officers detected “a strong odor of alcoholic beverage” on Walz’s breath. He failed both field sobriety and breath tests, registering a blood alcohol level of .128—well above the legal limit. Initially charged with DUI and speeding, Walz ultimately struck a plea deal that reduced his charges to reckless driving.
